OK, so out of dis-belief, I went and fired up googleearth myself. And
guess what! It hung! Mouse still worked, but the keyboard was dead.
I SSHed in from another computer and discovered that googleearth-bin was
eating all the CPU it could. So, I issued a "telinit 3" to shutdown X.
No dice (at least nothing visible happened). So, I killed
googleearth-bin with a "kill -9" and the whole computer came to a
standstill! Time to re-boot. (Arrrrrgh, I hate it when that happens!)
Being a glutton for punishment, after the computer rebooted (and I got
the wireless up again, took about 13 minutes!) I fired up googleearth
again. This time it worked! Go figure. So, it does work, just not
reliably. As I recall, my laptop had an uptime of over 9 days before
the hang, so I suspect something in the X11 environment gets corrupted
after a while causing googleearth to go crazy.
Does it work for you either after restarting X or after a reboot?
Even once?
